I never thought that when I started following Hidamari back in 2007 that it would still be running to this day. Nori and Nazuna's presence can only add more to the cast dynamic, so I look forward to this.

Personally, I kinda hoping that we'll be seeing more of Mami and Nakayama (Yuno and Miyako's classmates) this season, especially since I've seen a few stories in volumes 5 and 6 of the manga that involve them.

I don't know. But I don't think Shaft keeps many of its shows running for multiple seasons, whether by choice or not Maybe I'm just jumping to conclusions, but I feel like this is the end for Hidamari. I sure hope I'm wrong though.

Well, this show has already lasted for 4 seasons, and doesn't seem to be slipping in terms of sales momentum, so I don't necessarily see why they'd end it. (They also are running the Monogatari series for multiple seasons, but that's a sales juggernaut, so not exactly a surprise...) That said, some of the characters are approaching graduation, and I'm not sure what will happen after that. I guess it really depends on what the author does at that point.

shaft can prety much do whatever they want now that the monogatari series have sold over one million copies. back to the nime, they can always just intercalate new episodes as they have been doing, but I rpefer the alternative of actually having character changes, like lucky star does and k-on failed in doing.

Yeah, it may be odd. However, there's a couple of things to keep in mind:

1. The "central" girl in the story is Yuno. Hence, I doubt the manga will come to an end before she (and Miyako) graduates.

2. With Hiro and Sae leaving, there's a lot of possibilities of what will happen to fill the void of their absence. The two more likely possibilities are the following:

Two new freshmen students will take over their spot (so that way the apartment will not feel "empty");

Mami and Nakayama will have more prominent screen time in the manga (with this slowly starting to happen in volumes 5 and 6 of the manga).

Oh I get that. I really want it to continue and see how Yuno develops without having her senpais as a crutch, it's just that Hiro is my favourite and the series will feel a bit lonely without her and Sae's dynamic.

The logo for the season transliterates the subtitle as "Hanikamu", which can also mean "shyness" (含羞む), yet "Honeycomb" is an equally valid translation... and a honeycomb is hexagonal, and there are six main characters in the show. There's evidence for both meanings holding merit.
